Chapter 3931 The heavy responsibility of protecting world peace will be entrusted to you from now on
Chapter 3931 The heavy responsibility of protecting world peace will be entrusted to you from now on, young man!
Despite having boldly declared her intention to board the ship... after calming down, Ah Xi Ruo ultimately chose to call the audience outside the venue for advice.
Foreign aid, [Ice Wheel], activate!
"...You also suggested that I should go and take a look at the [Void]?"
"Yes, the [Stigmata] needs to absorb more power from the stars to continue evolving. As the prince's child, you shouldn't stop here. However, before leaving Subworld 003, I hope you can come back once."
"Why?" Ah Xiruo asked curiously.
“I have prepared a gift for you, my lord… to be precise, this is a gift that the Prince has prepared for you.”
Upon hearing this, Ah Xi Ruo hesitated slightly, neither agreeing nor refusing, and directly severed her connection with [Bing Lun]... She still needed some time to process what had happened today.
"...Shall we travel together with that guy?"
A mix of elation, slight bewilderment, and trepidation filled the air; the true dragon of China was now more nervous about the unknown…?
They say living together is... a test!
However, although it is said to be a six-month journey, according to [Binglun], it should only be the six-month span of 003's journey from the world. For the chaotic void, this time is impossible to estimate - it mainly depends on His Highness's itinerary.
Yes, to this day, [Binglun] still insists on using the title [Your Highness].
"Xiao Fei, do you have time? Come to my place right away."
"Yes, Master! I'm coming right away!"
……
Mo Xiaofei's home is actually very close to A Xiruo's hospital... only half an hour's drive away—but he entered through the back door of the hospital without disturbing the only two employees inside.
Ah Xiruo was already waiting.
"Master, did you suddenly call me here because of a mission?" Mo Xiaofei was in good spirits. "After resting for a few days, I'm full of energy now. Please give me your orders!"
Ah Xi Ruo suddenly looked at Mo Xiao Fei very seriously... Initially, she only saved the child because she didn't want the [shop] to succeed.
Who knows how Mo Xiaofei grew up to look like this, and how he even has a "Zheng Ge" hidden inside him?
Did the customer really walk into the shop by accident?
Perhaps... every person who walks in is already marked by fate?
“I’m taking you somewhere, follow me,” Ah Xi Ruo suddenly said.
Mo Xiaofei nodded... and then Ah Xiruo led him directly into the training ground dug out from under the hospital—this place was originally dug out by Ah Xiruo to train Mo Xiaofei's abilities.
Since Mo Xiaofei completed his phase of training, he hasn't been to this underground training ground for a long time.
"How nostalgic..." Mo Xiaofei casually picked up a broken stone, which seemed to still bear traces of sweat from the past. "Master, why did you suddenly bring me back here?"
"I just happened to be passing by." Ah Xi Ruo continued walking forward... When she reached the end, she casually pressed down on a rock, and the rock moved away automatically.
Looking at the previously unseen passage revealed after the rocks were moved, and the simple track laid on the ground, Mo Xiaofei looked surprised. "When did this happen... I've never noticed this place before?"
"I just got through." Ah Xiruo checked the time. "I've arrived."
What they called "arrival" was a tiny train only three meters long... Mo Xiaofei followed Ah Xiruo and got on, and the little train started moving immediately—it was clearly driverless.
"Master, where...where are we going?"
Ah Xiruo casually replied, "[Shenzhou] City."
"Shenzhou...City?" Mo Xiaofei was taken aback. "I don't think I've ever heard of this place before?"
Ah Xiruo nodded, "The name was only recently decided... This is a city built underground in [Qilin City]. Of course, at present, only the framework has been excavated. Even deep underground in [Qilin City], no supernatural power can be used, so the construction is very difficult."
Mo Xiaofei's expression was very rich at this moment—a richness that remained even after the miniature train arrived at its destination and he actually saw the frame Ah Xiruo had mentioned!
At this moment, in a vast underground space, hundreds of thousands of people are operating a large number of machines scattered in every corner, laying the most basic pipelines of a city.
Countless steel scaffolding pieces had been embedded in the wall for reinforcement, and the air was filled with the strong smell of welding... Mo Xiaofei was speechless for a long time.
After a long while, Mo Xiaofei finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Shenzhou... still likes to do big things quietly as always, actually managing to create such a big spectacle so quietly!"
Ah Xi Ruo casually said, "Let's plan for the future. If one day, foreign invaders break through all the barriers, then [Qilin City] will be humanity's last fortress... and [Shenzhou] City will become humanity's last place of survival."
Mo Xiaofei frowned and said, "Master, is the situation really that serious? I don't think those invaders from Asgard are a match for you at all..."
“There are always people more capable than you, and there’s always something beyond your understanding. People… always need to plan ahead.” Ah Xi Ruo shook her head. “You may think I’m strong enough, but even I don’t know how long this so-called strength can last.”
Mo Xiaofei hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Ah Xiruo looked at him and said, "Xiao Fei, under the binding force of Qilin City, the safety of Shenzhou City is beyond doubt. In the future, this place will become the true center of everything in Shenzhou, and also the true headquarters for humanity's fight against foreign invaders."
"But the Administration Bureau isn't..."
“The Administration Bureau is still the Administration Bureau,” Ah Xi Ruo said casually. “Nothing will change. It’s just that we’ve added this combat staff unit… Of course, it will take time to perfect. The reason I brought you here is because I’ve recommended you to join this staff department, and the elders of Shenzhou have already agreed.”
"What?! Me?!" Mo Xiaofei exclaimed in astonishment, "Master, aren't you more suitable?"
Ah Xi Ruo said calmly, "In order to face the threats of the future, I will be entering the True Dragon Secret Realm to cultivate for the next period of time. I don't know how long it will take."
"Master, you're going into seclusion again?!" Mo Xiaofei exclaimed in surprise.
"...This time it won't be like last time!" Ah Xiruo coughed twice. "If you need anything, you can still come to the entrance of the secret realm. I've already granted you access, and you can contact [Binglun]...cough cough, when necessary, [Binglun] will summon a true dragon clone...clone, you should have seen it last time!"
—I heard you say some strange things last time…
"Master, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I'm not qualified enough..."
Ah Xiruo walked over and placed her hands on Mo Xiaofei's shoulders. "Xiaofei, I've said it before, you're ready to graduate. I know better than anyone how powerful you really are. Apart from me, there are very few people in this world who can surpass you, and that's assuming you don't use the Emperor's Sword."
There's one more thing I haven't said.
—If [Brother Zheng] were to go online, then besides my mother…
"But I..."
"Is he even a man?!"
"Yes!"
"Didn't you just say that you would do whatever I say?"
"...It seems so?"
"Very good!" Ah Xi Ruo chuckled softly. "Then from now on, the important task of maintaining world peace will be entrusted to you! Isn't this your long-held dream?"
"...Master, I have a feeling that this time you're not going into seclusion, but rather you're just abandoning your responsibilities?"
……
Why are you shirking your responsibilities?
When China is at peace, it's common for true dragons to go into seclusion for a few hundred years—now that the world order has changed dramatically, it's not unreasonable for them to just "go into seclusion" for half a year!
This generation isn't lacking in capable fighters!
After giving Mo Xiaofei the assignment, Ah Xiruo sent him away—his appointment letter would be delivered soon, and it would include a military rank, but it wouldn't be made public.
As for Luo Pianxian, Ah Xiruo also used the reason of "seclusion"—the little butterfly fairy sensibly said that Sister Long had to cultivate diligently for the sake of the nation's righteousness, and she would not let Sister Long down, and would definitely manage the hospital well!
...The little butterfly fairy's bright eyes once made Ah Xiruo feel extremely ashamed.
Because the incident happened so suddenly, Ah Xi Ruo still had a lot of things to arrange, so she went out again with a sense of shame.
……

[Critical Gate], activate!
On the outer edge of 003, in front of a huge palace-like warship, [Emperor Ziwei] and [Venus Taibai] simultaneously emerged from the portal of light.
Looking back, Emperor Ziwei breathed a slight sigh of relief—damn, he was finally out of that dangerous No. 003. Heaven knows how he survived those days when Brother Zheng blocked his door.
Although staying in a hotel ensures safety, only he and [Zhenwu] understand the feeling of suffocation.
The Designer System is now online, allowing you to stay informed about events in the Layer World anytime, anywhere. Designers can also communicate with each other through this system and even invite each other to temporarily descend by paying a fee.
As for whether the guys who descend into my world will try to steal resources... that's up to me.
There haven't been any interactions on the [Designer System]'s dedicated interface yet... it's probably in a weak social phase.
"Then, Your Majesty, I should also return to report." [Taibai Jinxing] bowed slightly at this moment, "Your Majesty's journey is long, please take care."
[Emperor Ziwei] smiled slightly, "Venus Taibai, I am still somewhat worried about [Zhenwu]'s entry into the Layer World this time. [Zhenwu] is my subordinate, and I know his temperament very well. He is an unparalleled warrior when it comes to charging into traps, but when it comes to governance and development, he does have many shortcomings."
[Taibai Jinxing] nodded and said, "Your Majesty always keeps [Zhenwu Emperor] in mind. The affection between you is truly touching... When I return, I will definitely suggest that Your Majesty select more talents from [Zhenwu Emperor]'s card pool to assist [Zhenwu Emperor]'s cause."
The Purple Emperor said, "I have a suitable candidate right now!"
"Oh?" [Taibai Jinxing]'s eyes lit up. "I wonder who the Emperor is referring to? This humble god will go and [invite] them into the card pool right away! The Emperor need not worry, when it comes to inviting people, I'm not bragging, but no one in the entire [Heavenly Court] can surpass me!"
"you!"
"Oh...what?"
"Come in you!"
"Your Majesty..."
Without the word "slow," [Venus] directly shattered and was contained by the [Designer System], placed into the gacha pool, and ultimately became 10 [Venus] fragments... SSR quality! Class: Archer!
"Welcome back, Your Majesty!"
On the ship, countless heavenly soldiers and generals knelt in welcome.
The Purple Emperor has finally reclaimed his glory, and with a wave of his hand, he commands, "Set sail, [Science Side]!"
That damn 003, not even a dog will come near it again!
Although the trip yielded great results, it's a pity that we ultimately failed to bring back the [Greedy Wolf]... Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
"Your Majesty, this is the latest issue of the [Void Daily]!"
The servant then handed over a transparent crystal plate the size of an A4 sheet of paper—it was called a daily report, but it was actually only updated and published periodically. It not only covered the four aspects of the void, but also occasionally contained news about the [Primordial] node.
In the void, those who can achieve this level are known as the "Secret Society," with countless disciples... oh, more like countless scribes!
That's right, the Void Daily was founded by the Secret Society!
"[Magic Side] A powerful deity has fallen. Alas! Alas!"
"【Galaxy Fairy】will be holding a tour in 【Saint Gloria】port soon. Click to follow and buy tickets so you don't get lost!"
"A mysterious hotel has appeared in the port of Saint Gloria, causing many powerful figures from the Radiant Moon region to turn pale at the mere mention of it. The financial backer behind it is actually..."
Emperor Ziwei was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. This news couldn't be kept secret... There might actually be members of the Secret Society at the auction that day.
However, the report made no mention of Kasyapa's journey to the West, which was quite tactful.
"The second node of the [Primordial] is suspected to have been inhabited by [Void Asuras]..."
"[Fantasy Side] A new war may be about to break out. It is said that one of the Great Old Ones, [Lord of Time] Aphrodite, once said: What we have lost, we must take back!"
[Emperor Ziwei] frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then used a powerful technique to initiate a long-distance communication.
Soon, a projection of a figure appeared before Emperor Ziwei, holding a black longsword, with thick bandages wrapped around his face, a crimson left eye and a grayish-white right eye, and even holding a blood-dripping human head in his other hand.
"You're looking for me?" the man holding the long sword asked, his voice hoarse.
[Emperor Ziwei] frowned slightly, glanced at the other party briefly, and then said calmly, "Get ready before you come back."
The other party chuckled and casually tossed the severed head aside. "I'll take this planet soon. Speak quickly, I don't have time!"
[Emperor Ziwei] let out a sigh of relief... This guy from the privateering gang is really hard to control!
Have you read the latest issue of the Void Daily?
"No time!"
The other side has started hacking and slashing at something again...
[Emperor Ziwei] said, "[Fantasy Side] There is a high probability that a new round of war will break out, which is a good opportunity."
The swordsman, who was supposedly conquering the world from some distant place, suddenly slowed his movements. "Are you sure?"
"Uncertain." [Emperor Ziwei] said calmly, "However, even if a fight doesn't break out, can't you do something... Wang Zhi?"
"That man..." Wang Zhi sneered, "What benefit would I get from this? It doesn't matter where I rob, why would I go to such a filthy place to get involved?"
"I can decide to give you an extra 15% of the profits," [Emperor Ziwei] said calmly. "However, you need to do one more thing for me."
"Say!"
Then, the [Ziwei Emperor] slowly raised his palm, and in his palm, a wisp of seven-colored divine light gathered... and gathered into a jade piece that looked like a lotus petal. "Help me find a similar [Jade Disc]."
"What is this?" Wang Zhi couldn't help but frown.
"No need to ask, just find it." [Emperor Ziwei] casually dispersed the divine light.
Wang Zhi immediately scoffed, "How big is the [Fantasy Side]? You have no information whatsoever, and you want me to search for a needle in a haystack? Are you kidding me?"
"Don't worry, I will give you something. If there is such a [Jade Disc] in the nearby area, it will guide you." After saying that, [Emperor Ziwei] waved his hand, and a beam of azure light shot directly into the projection's hand.
The next moment, a purple mark appeared on the back of Wang Zhi's hand, which was in a distant, unknown place.
Wang Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "What if we can't find it?"
"You just need to do your best." [Emperor Ziwei] smiled slightly and said, "I don't force you, but someone once said that there should be a few such [Jade Discs] in the [Fantasy Side]... To go or not to go?"
"Let me think about it!"
Wang Zhi took the initiative to cut off this contact.
[Emperor Ziwei] didn't care. Black Gloves, of course, have some personality. As long as they are capable, that's fine.
After all, you can easily throw away a chamber pot if you don't like using it anymore...
